Using the BIOS Setup Program

The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for
the computer. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key
after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the
operating system boot begins.

Setting the BIOS Configuration Jumper Block

CAUTION
Always turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the computer
before changing the jumper block settings. Moving the jumper with the
power on may result in unreliable computer operation.
The BIOS configuration jumper block determines the operating mode of the
BIOS Setup Program and enables BIOS recovery in the event of a failed
BIOS update (see the previous illustration for the location of the jumper block).
